Scolari stands down

15 July 2014

Brazil national team coach Luis Felipe Scolari has resigned following their humiliating World Cup exit. Their 7-1 mauling at the hands of Germany in the semi-finals was followed by an equally disappointing 3-0 loss to the Netherlands in the third place play-off. It was claimed yesterday that Scolari, won the World Cup in 2002, was sacked.
